CWDM/DWDM

Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) is a technology that combines several streams of data, storage, video, or voice protocols on the same physical fiber optic cable by using several wavelengths or frequencies of light with each frequency carrying a different type of data. By utilizing Course and Dense (CWDM and DWDM) network systems or the mixture thereof, carriers and enterprises are able to transport services from 2 Mbps up to 100 Gbps of data.

ROADM

Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexers (ROADM) are used in networks to route and switch traffic on and off to optimize capacity and maintain critical 99.999% network up time. Remote reconfiguration capabilities reduce network operating costs, while enabling service providers to add network capacity and manage network resources in real time.

SONET

Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) offers highly secure, cost-effective transport for voice, data, and video traffic. SONET technology uses two or more transmission paths between network nodes, facilitated with digital cross-connects (DCSs) or add/drop multiplexers (ADMs). SONET services scale quickly and easily to handle large amounts of voice and data traffic without compromising reliability. They are designed to allow easy application adoption to your network without disruption.
